Hello All:

I=92ve attached a hand sketch for a =93simple=94 muf= fler for the rotary.

Parts all standard from Burns Stainless Steel (304).=

Note there are holes right at the transition outlet = flare to ease pressure at that point.

Inlet has a deflector to force exhaust to exit throu= gh multiple holes in the tailpipe insert.

=85 let me know your thoughts.
